The Searle Family

It was a nice day
so I though we would get together with Tara’s
kids and take them to the Alpine Splash pad. We had never gone before and it
was right down the street from their house, so we picked them up and headed out
for some splash pad fun. It is great
because Ashlyn and Paige are the same ages as Chloe and Abby. The girls had a
fun time playing together.

We had a free
afternoon and so we rode out bikes over to the school to go play at the
playground. Chloe found a creative way
to do the monkey bars and we had to take some pictures to show daddy when he
got home from work.

With our pass of all passes, we
were able to get free tickets to go see Cinderella at the Scera outdoor
theater. It was cute and the songs were
fun, but the girls were wondering why it wasn't like Disney’s Cinderella. However, I did catch the girls singing the
songs around the house a few weeks after we saw it. Aaron was a trooper and didn't complain too
much about being there ;).

Did you know that
there is a National Doughnut Day? Well
there is and Krispy Kreme gives out a free doughnut to everyone that comes in
on that day. Not being one to pass up free doughnuts, we called the Cummings
and met them for doughnuts. The line was
super long but we didn’t mind waiting, especially when we got to the part where
we could watch the doughnuts being made.

For a couple of years,
Chloe’s dentist told us that she was going to need a little surgery called a frenectomy. By doing this, it
makes it so when her adult teeth come in there wont be such a big gap. She was a trooper and did an awesome job
during the procedure. Granted the
laughing gas helped =). Here’s hoping it
works!

Chloe got a special award today in school. It was for academic achievement and she was the only one in her class that got it. She got to go up in front of the whole school during an assembly to receive it and have everyone clap for her. I am so proud of her and for what a good student she is.

After the assembly, we headed up to Thanksgiving point to
check out the new NaturalCuriosityMuseum. It was amazing! There are so many things for
the kids to explore, climb, build, etc.
The only downside of the day was that this was the last time we got to
hang out with our best buds because they were moving to Arizona later on that week. We will miss them, but plan to stay in touch.

Before we headed out for our annual Moab trip, we
stopped by Max’s grave to drop off some flowers. I love being able to stop by
his grave and have that time with the girls to remind them of him and talk
about where he is now and how we will be a family forever.

At the end of each school year, Chloe’s school
puts on a carnival. This was our first year attending and we all had a great
time. There was a train ride, face painting, hair spraying, bouncy houses and
tons of games to play. It was also fun
because the girls were able to see their friends there as well as grandma and
grandpa.

I had a wonderful mothers day and got to spend it with my
girls. I love being a mother and wouldn't trade it for the world. Abby wanted to get me a doughnut for her
present (and I wasn't about to say no to that).
The girls and Aaron also got me some new clothes.
